I have seen a deal that I may not be able to pass up, even after I already have another AS going through a full monty.

Close to me is a 1965 Tradewind that is in good condition. The owner has installed a new VCT floor, had nice new hardwood furniture installed throughout. He also had nice heavy foam matresses custom made with nice heavy fabric. All appliances work, but gas and water lines need to be rerun. The only thing it doesn't have is a bathroom. The old bath was decimated when he got it, and eventually planned to make a new one. The hot water heater is busted, but has a new in box atwood heater with it.

I wonder if my 1968 Safari's bath will fit since I am remodeling the floorplan on the safari. I have been out to see it, and it is in great shape. He even sealed the seams on the outside except the rear where the new belly pan hasn't been put back after the new subfloor.

Particularly odd to me is a rear window AC unit that changes out with a clear window.

Looks to me like a "most excellent" deal $1500-2000 is my price point for a towable Airstream. So I would say go for it, you could always sell it on Ebay and with the right hype get at least $5k for it

Why are we in this basket...and where are we going

If I lived in TX, I was already offered $6500 for my safari because it was a small trailer with single axel, and a forward dinette. This was before the problem with frame/floor was figured in. I just got a new floor/frame for it at the cost of $2700.

I think....no, I KNOW you have made up your mind already. You obviously know vintage Airstreams well enough to see a 'steal' when you see it,
GO FOR IT! Some one else will.

Thanks Neil, your response was quite confusing. You say NO, but go for it. I went for it. $2000 has to be a great deal considering how much work the PO did to it. The new water heater, and cushions with fabric alone were more than $2000. Add all the hardwood furniture, new subflooring in front and rear, new tile floor, and a sealed exterterior and belly pan and you have a great deal.

2 airishuman...I am with you. Why do you want two Airstreams? The photos reflect $2,000 value. Now how much MORE time an money needed?
And what will you do with the 68 Safari. These are your questions and your
decisions.
